Republic of Florence, 14th Century (2 янв 1300 г. – 1 янв 1400 г.)

Описание:

In 1304, war between the Ghibellines and the Guelphs led to a great fire that destroyed much of the city. Several new banking families sprung up in Florence, the Bardis, Peruzzis and Accaioli. The friction between the Guelphs and Ghibellines would not cease. A Europe-wide economic recession caused banks to perish, and Florence's reign as the foremost banking city in Europe ended, though Florentine literature would flourish. A coalition of Italian City states led by Florence, and Pope Gregory XI, brought about the end of the Avignon Papacy around 1376, in a war which strained the Florence regime. The Viscontis of Milan began expanding in 1389, beginning a period of three Florentine wars with Milan. The first in 1390-92 saw Milan contained, and the second in 1397-98 was inconclusive, between which the Medici Bank was founded. The war expenses necessitated tax raises and forced loans. Over the next two years Florentine control of Tuscany collapsed.
